Here in Portugal there's a forest fire burning through the landscape (Portugal's been hit hard by these fires in recent years), but there seems to be a little more to this particular plume of smoke...
Does that not look like a bearded face at this distance? In fact (maybe I'm just getting carried away in the spirit of the season), but I think that looks quite a lot like Santa Claus!
Thanks to Ricardo Castro.

It’s all about imagination… I would say that face looks like Satan if today is “Friday the 13th”.
Airborne incinerated tree particles?
I see what you are talking about. And Santa Claus is smiling.
I am sorry we make fun with Portugal’s disaster~~~
get a grip man….
He’s even saying “Ho! Ho! Ho!” 😮 😮 😮
Did you know that Santa Claus in the Netherlands comes with a boot from Spain and not from the North Pole? With Portugal here, not too far off, I would say.
All these bearded men in the sky are only tales for the children, but Santa Claus is the most credible.
I think it looks like the Travelocity Gnome!
Looks like Fidel Castro to me…
A Great Picture.. I have a doubt … with what it seems like that? Is it a cloud?
Actually, I think many would agree that upon quick glance it looks more like the Burger King than Santa.
If I squint a bit I get Shakespeare… a bit more and I get Anthony Hopkins (with a goatee).
Try it!
